John: First off, how long are you using the glow plugs? How cold is it?
To start with, these glow plugs are not the same type as in modern day cars and trucks. Modern day car and truck glow plugs are 15 second wonders.
These glow plugs in 460-560 have to be used 40-60 seconds in summer. I owned a 560, and if the block heater was not plugged in, from 32 down to zero F it would start, however it was quite common to use those glow plugs 3-4 minutes. That takes one H@!! of a good set of batteries, and lot heavier than factory issue. The block heater will make all starts, like summer time starts.
Personally, I wouldn't be without the block heater, it will add years to the life of your engine. Use it anytime below 40F, but you still need good working glow plugs.
